I would say they're a little high. On Valcyn a DE Exp +12 tape just went for 2 mil (I think). I don't know how Bria's economy compares, but that's a pretty large differential there.
You have to keep in mind that DE's make much less money than other crafting profs, and experimentation does not mean as much to a DE as it does to a WS or AS.

Bria DE's must have some mega-credits. You would be laughed off the trade boards by all 3 Kettemoor DE's if you started with those prices. We just had a +14 Exp tape go for 8mill, but I would have paid up to 10 Mill if there was a sniper rule for the auction. Oh well.
I just bought a +3 and +4 assembly tapes too for 800k, total. And I was the only bidder.

I would suggest setting your min bid to the buyout. Not only do DEs not make a whole lot of money, experimentation has a very limited effect on our products. Just as a guideline, I bought a droidsmith's toolkit (+5/+5) for 250K a few days ago on Tarq.

Really, i've seen all sorts of prices on these.. it just depends on how many DE's are looking, and how many have the cash. saw a +5 go for 4 million on my boards, then the next week i snagged a +5 for 2 million... sooo... it can really change...

Personally, I'd divide all of the prices by a factor of 10.
But then again, my home server is Test Center where I can get those items for free, from other players, or buy them for around 1k per +s.

Scyllia board we would tell you to go back to bria, we wouldnt even need to wait till you say you are on bria, just "dude, go back to bria" droid prices on Scyllia have inflated a little though here.

hehee as the rest said yeah they seem to be high, but then again ive been a pure DE only for about a year now... and i have yet to see over 3 million, myself.
If it werent for the love i have for the prof (and its a deep deep love trust me lol) I'd say WS and Shipwright looks prettier by the day //sigh//
But anyhow, ive seen that kind of thing go for 1-2 million on my server, Lowca... but we dont have a huge amount of DEs there anymore, so its hard to get higher prices on things as a seller

DE experimentation tapes on the mighty Bloodfin go for about 1 mil per point.
Assembly tapes go for about 100K per point.

I paid 4.5m for a +25 Droid Assembly tape, but I've seen prices like yours on Naritus for about the same type of tapes. Maybe a bit on the high side...
